Photos: The Bruce Wells Collection - Warwick Farm - Part 4

[Steve Holmes]

18480

I've been chomping at the bit to get started on this chapter of The Bruce Wells Collection. This entire chapter, containing 63 photos, is all based upon the Warwick Farm round of the 1966 Tasman Series, and features the Tasman cars, plus cars from the supporting touring car and sports car races.

There are also a few driver photos which I'll include, although some of these will double up in a special chapter I'm reserving as the very last update from Bruce Wells, which will only be photos of drivers.

Anyway, the Warwick Farm round of the '66 Tasman Series was won by Jim Clark in his Lotus, from Graham Hill's BRM, and Frank Gardner's Brabham, which is also how they lined up after qualifying.

[Steve Holmes]

Lets start with this spectacular shot, featuring Bob Jane, getting his E Type crossed up in one of the sports car races.

18481

[Steve Holmes]

And from the same race, Ron Thorpe in the Cobra

18482

[Steve Holmes]

Alfa GTZ2. Possibly Max Brunnington?

18483

[Dale Harvey]

Not exactly sure of the driver but, the name you are trying get out is Brunninghausen not Brunnington. Close.

dale.

[Steve Holmes]

More sports car photos to come, but here are a few touring car photos, including this great shot of a Lotus Cortina. Can anyone ID who this is? It kind of looks like Bob Jane driving, and remembering he destroyed his Mustang at Catalina Park in late 1965, did he revert back to the Cortina for 1966?

Yes you're correct Dale, slight brain lapse.

I reckon its Bob Jane.

Dale.

[Steve Holmes]

The Cooper S looks a lot like the one Brian Foley raced through 1964 and '65, but did he still own it in early 1966?

18499

[Spgeti]

Hello Steve, according to Alfa romeo TZ book I believe this to be a TZ1 Chassis 750 061 to which Brunninghausen purchased in 1965. This car has a Double Bubble Roof due to Nabokow being very tall prior to being purchased. Brunninghausen purchased a TZ2 chassis 750 109 or 112 from Alex Mildren in 1967 to replace the TZ1


Alfa GTZ2. Possibly Max Brunnington?

18483

[Steve Holmes]

Thanks Bruce, great info. Is this car still about somewhere?

[Spgeti]

The TZ1, 750 061 was auctioned in November 2000 in Auckland. From memory it was owned prior to this by a prominent South Islander. The TZ2 was damaged in Aussi before being repaired and exported to China for the Macau race 1968. There is confusion over the chassis plate but this seems common with the TZs. They seem to think TZ2 chassis 750 109 and 112 may be the same car. No knowledge of the TZ2 after 1999. The chassis plate was removed when restored.

[Steve Holmes]

Thanks Bruce, awesome info!

[Steve Holmes]

Thanks Ellis, yes, spot on.

[Steve Holmes]

Any help to ID the Cooper S and Cortina drivers here would be great.

18511

18512

[Steve Holmes]

Hows this for smokin' the bags! I believe this is possibly the Alton Boddenberg Valiant.

18513

[Steve Holmes]

Can you help to ID these Humpy Holdens Ellis? The FJ I've managed to trace to a B. Stewart. Any more info than that? The FX has a fairly unique stripe running down off the bonnet, which might help to ID the driver.

18514

18515

[Steve Holmes]

Time for some driver photos, prior to the start of the big race. Jim Clark talks tactics.....

18516

[Steve Holmes]

18517

[Steve Holmes]

Leo Geoghegan plays the larrikin

18518

[hilstwist]

Those are really great photos and where else can you see great tyre smoking photos like this other than this site. I rather imagine this is the type of thing Steve had in mind when he started the "Roaring Season" Thanks again mate!!

An interesting side note regarding this car: It ended up being an Appendx J car that was evetually purchased by Jim McKeowan in the 90's and was vigorously campained in Victoria... Jim still had what it took to run up the front... I feel very lucky that I was able to see Jim in action, second time round! It's kind of a shame that this car went to the UK as it is such a significant piece of Aussie race history.

[Steve Holmes]

Thanks Pauly, I didn't know that. Do you know if this is the same car he raced in early 1965 before his Mustang arrived? I assumed it was just parked up while Bob raced the Mustang, then rolled back out again after the Mustang crash.

[Steve Holmes]

Compared to Geoghegan pictured above, Jackie Stewart is a picture of intensity.

18534

[Steve Holmes]

Graham Hill enjoys a cold one.

18536

[Steve Holmes]

Clark, again.

18537

[Rod Grimwood]

The FX Holden with the stripe across the bonnet No.53 is it Des West, he had a stripe like that.

[Steve Holmes]

Des usually raced as #27 Rod, but it could well be. There were so many of these Humpy Holdens raced in Aus in the '60s I doubt anyone actually knows them all.

[Steve Holmes]

Lined up for the race start, and the front row of the grid has Jim Clark on pole in the Lotus, alongside Graham Hill in the BRM, and, nearest camera, Frank Gardner in the Brabham. This is also the order in which they finished. Note that Gardner hasn't yet pulled on his goggles.

18543

[Steve Holmes]

And, moments later, all hell and fury.....

18544

[Steve Holmes]

Dramatic shot here of Gardner. Bruce must have been on his belly in the grass to capture this one.

18582

[Steve Holmes]

At the same place, Hill fires his BRM through sideways. Note the inside front wheel just cocking up off the deck.

18583

[Oldfart]

Some really wonderful pics here. Weren't we lucky to have been through these days when the worlds' best came down. Now I really know why most racing doesn't do it for me.

[Cooper997]

The Cooper S looks a lot like the one Brian Foley raced through 1964 and '65, but did he still own it in early 1966?

18499

Wow Steve!

More brilliant Bruce Wells photos.

#9 in theory probably is the old P & R Williams BMC, UK-built Cooper S that Foley used in 1964. For this 13/2/66 meeting Steve Harvey should be wrestling the understeer. The programme lists it as 1310cc in Red/White. Brian raced it with the factory Black roof. This could be Event 3 'Touring Car Race (Improved Production Under 1500cc).

[Cooper997]

Any help to ID the Cooper S and Cortina drivers here would be great.

18511

18512

The 2 Cooper S in post 16 are probably the same race as the Steve Harvey one. Same for the Cortina and Cooper S after it.

#22 Rick W Radford/ dvr Ron Haylen Morris Cooper S 1275 White/Red. This is an Australian production Cooper S in Toga White with Burgundy Red roof.
#49 MacDonalds Tuning Service/dvr C MacDonald (Res) Morris Cooper S 1098 Red/Black. So this is a UK-built Cooper S, with the 1071cc based engine.

What I think is #45 Esso Service Centre Waterloo/dvr G MacDonald Ford Cortina GT (Res) 1498cc Blue.

#27 Humphrey's Golden Fleece S/S Toowoomba/ J Osborne (Res) Austin Cooper S 1071 (with the colour stated as) Blue/White. Being an Austin version this is a rare beast in Australia, probably a private import. But looking at the car in a B&W photo my first thought would have been to say Old English White body with a Black roof. This being the factory UK color scheme. But maybe the roof was painted blue. We can only surmise.
.

[Steve Holmes]

Oh wow, that is really fantastic info! Thanks for posting and filling in those gaps.

[Steve Holmes]

This is how the race ended for Don O'Sullivan's Cooper

18619

[Cooper997]

Brilliant to see this shot, Steve.

Alas, a long way across the Nullabor to end with one rather bent ex Bib Stillwell/Bill Patterson 'intercontinental' Cooper Climax though.

The RCN report states "O'Sullivan's race came to a grinding halt at Creek Corner, the West Australian losing the Cooper in a big way and giving the fence a helluva thump."

Looking at the following week's Lakeside Tasman/AGP meeting it appears he was a non-starter. Understandable. But he was running again at the Sandown round 2 weeks after crashing.

Stephen

[Steve Holmes]

.....and he only got in 5 laps of the main race before this happened.

[Steve Holmes]

Some nice side profile shots, of Clark.....

18984

[Steve Holmes]

Greg Cusack.....

18985

[Steve Holmes]

..... and Geoghegan

18986

[Steve Holmes]

Kiwi Jim Palmer, in his Lotus and on his way to an impressive 6th place.

19002

[Steve Holmes]

Stunning shot here of Jackie Stewart in the BRM, on his way to a 4th place finish.

19031

[Steve Holmes]

Frank Gardner, in the Mildren run Brabham, on his way to a well earned 3rd place finish.

19032

[Steve Holmes]

Beautiful shot here of John Harvey, in his 1.5 litre Brabham, on his way to an excellent 8th overall.

19087

[Steve Holmes]

Hill again

19273

[Oldfart]

Aren't those cars just so lovely? Even the 20 something year old reckons they don't ever come better! (In my mind there are older ones that do.)

[Steve Holmes]

Leo Geoghegan again.....

19305

[Steve Holmes]

Stunning profile shot here of Jim Clark.

19474

[Steve Holmes]

Bob Jane in the super-slim Elfin, on his way to 9th.

19475

[Steve Holmes]

Lovely side profile shot of Hill's BRM.

19581

[Steve Holmes]

The Bob Jane Elfin, from another angle.

19582

[Steve Holmes]

Here is Geoghegan again. Boy that was a pretty car. Where is it now?

19660

[Steve Holmes]

And here is Kevin Bartlett in his Brabham.

19661

[Steve Holmes]

Here is pole man and eventual race winner Jim Clark, in his Lotus, while in behind is young Kiwi racer Dennis Marwood, on his way to an excellent 10th outright in his Cooper.

19662

[Steve Holmes]

Here is another shot of Kevin Bartlett, in the Mildren run Brabham, leading John McDonald in the Cooper. Interestingly, McDonald was supported by Bill Patterson Motors, which from 1975 - 1977, went on to support Peter Brock when he split with the Holden Dealer Team at the end of 1974.

19700

[Steve Holmes]

Here is Kiwi driver Jim Palmer, on his way to a very impressive 6th outright.

19800

[hilstwist]

So The Palmer car is the same one that Clark is driving a couple of shots up? Would this be the year after? Palmer bought it of Lotus after the series that year?

[GD66]

This is the 1966 meeting with Clark driving the Lotus 39. Palmer is driving the Lotus 32B that Clark drove in the 1965 Tasman series.

[Steve Holmes]

This is the 1966 meeting with Clark driving the Lotus 39. Palmer is driving the Lotus 32B that Clark drove in the 1965 Tasman series.

Thanks for this explanation.

[Steve Holmes]

Bob Jane once more.

19900

[Steve Holmes]

The BRM V8

19901

[Steve Holmes]

Greg Cusack again.

19983

[Steve Holmes]

This is a beautiful shot. And notice the spectators hanging over the fence. Very neat.

19984

[Steve Holmes]

Jim Palmer again.

20137

[Ellis]

Stunning profile shot here of Jim Clark.

19474


Lotus 39 ex Clark as it is today in Tasmania (pic at Longford Revival a couple of years ago)

[Steve Holmes]

Thats a great photo Ellis, thanks for posting.

[Robert Bailey]

And, moments later, all hell and fury.....

18544The Brabham BT11 car #4 is the ex Bib Stillwell ,1965 Gold Star winning car,spent many years in NZ.
Now restored and raced in OZ by Mr Strauss.

[Steve Holmes]

Thanks Robert, to what guise has it been restored? Stillwell or Gardner?

[Robert Bailey]

Thanks Robert, to what guise has it been restored? Stillwell or Gardner? with a 2.5 Climax but in the colours of the factory cars BRG and gold trimmings,it should be Bib's colour of BRG with yellow trimmings.

[Steve Holmes]

Thanks for this info Robert.

[Robert Bailey]

Peter has a nice collection of Brabhams,including the BT11 a BT6 FJ and the BT31 Repco.

[Steve Holmes]

Thanks for this Robert.

[Steve Holmes]

Couple more shots of Hill in the BRM.

20202

[Steve Holmes]

Hill gives Bruce a wave on the cool down lap.

20293

[Steve Holmes]

Clark salutes the crowd following his win.

20337

[Steve Holmes]

OK, time for some sports car action, and Leo Geoghegan is in the Lotus Elan, but who is ducking up the inside?

20345

[Steve Holmes]

Here is Bib Stillwell in the beautiful Cooper Monaco Buick, sledging forward with understeer.

20346

[Steve Holmes]

A beautiful Milano GT. Any ideas on the driver?

20458

[Steve Holmes]

Its Bob Jane chasing in the E Type. Could it be John Harvey leading in the Lotus?

20459

[Terry S]

This is at Warwick Farm's Tasman meeting in February 1966
It is NOT Leo geoghegan in the Elan but Niel Allen
The car behind is Pete Geoghegan in the Lola Climax 1100. He took it as a trade from Frank Demuth for his Lotus 23B.
This race was really a seales demonstration. He painted it yellow and added 8" wheels.
He embarrassed Demuth by being all over him despite being in an older car and only 1,100 cc compared to the twin cam 1,600cc of the Lotus. Geoghegan advertised it for sale in March 1966 Racing Car News for AUD 3,400. If inly we had bought such things, but isn't hindsight a wonderful thing.
This was a fabulous race probably one of best I have ever seen. Also included Bob Jane in lightweight E Type. Geoghegan, Demuth and Jane diced fiercely for the whole ten laps and regularly changed places, with Allen dropping back.
Cusack Lotus 23B had cleared out to win then followed Demuth, Geoghegan and Jane.
THe picure a couple later is of DEmuth in the Lotus 23B follwed by Jane.
Johnny Harvey did share the Lotus with DEmuth in a Surfers Paradise Endurance Race and there is a wonderul picture of the car circulating with only 3 wheels.
Within a year DEmuth was convicted of fraud and that ended his racing career

[Ellis]

Think Terry S reply refers to #79

The Lola Climax ended up coming to Tassie. A very pretty little car

[Terry S]

[QUOTE=Steve Holmes;32293]A beautiful Milano GT. Any ideas on the driver?

Its Bruce Leer in Milano 179 in Div 2 Sports Car Race, one of two such cars from JWF Glass Fibre.
The winner of the race was Max Brunninghausen in an Alfa GTZ. He's still going around in a Chevron B8.

[Steve Holmes]

This is at Warwick Farm's Tasman meeting in February 1966
It is NOT Leo geoghegan in the Elan but Niel Allen


Thanks for confirming this Terry. I wasn't 100% sure when I posted that photo, as both Leo and Allen raced Elan's with two stripes, as #7, at different times. The difference was that Geoghegan's car had the red and blue stripes, Allen's the two red stripes. But being a black and white photo.....

[Terry S]

Steve I believe the Elan was sold by the Geoghegans to Niel Allen, so it is the same car.
I recall Allen changed the blue stripe over the car to red, so he had two red stripes, and deleted the stripes down the sides. These became his team colours and used here and on Elfin Traco, Lotus 23B and Mustang.
I don't think Leo raced the Elan very much at all, mainly for demonstrations as they were Lotus agents.
One appearance was a staged dice at Oran Park, refer Bruce Wells Collection Oran Park Part 2, posts #16 and #14.
Speaking of Geoghegans, interesting to see on posts #30 and #31 that "Big Pete" on very left of phots leaning on end of the fence.
Also note in #31 the hero standing in the middle of the Castrol sign on the wrong side of the fence as the race starts.
Safety obviously not considered as important in those days.....

[Steve Holmes]

Thanks Terry, now it all makes sense! I thought the two cars did look very similar.

[Steve Holmes]

Thanks again Terry for ID'ing these drivers. Here is Niel Allen again, in the ex-Leo Geoghegan Elan being chased by Pete Geoghegan in the Lola.

20669

[Steve Holmes]

Jane and Geoghegan

20671

[Steve Holmes]

More fabulous Lotus Elan's. Here Fred Gibson, with inside wheel cocked, leads Niel Allen.

20810

[Steve Holmes]

Here is another shot of the Milano GT.

20924

[Steve Holmes]

Buckle sports car. Looking at the non-original cooling ducts cut into the front bodywork, I'd take a punt on this being the Bruce Taylor car?

20925

[Terry S]

20925
Yes it is the Bruce Taylor car. This was in the 5 lap Sports Car Race Division 2, won by Brunninghausen in the Alfa GTZ, see photo #5 above. Taylor came in 6th
It was chassis # 93-883 and was originally raced by Bill Buckle himself, hence probably the different cooling ducts as a test

[Steve Holmes]

Thanks for this Terry.

[Steve Holmes]

21027

[Terry S]

21027
Steve you make it more of a challenge when numbers not visible....
There were 3 Lotus Super 7 in that race.
I think it is Ross Goldstein # 38, who finished ahead of Taylor in the results

Are there any more of these photos as they are so very clear?

[Steve Holmes]

Thanks Terry, this is great! Sorry, this is the only shot I have of this Lotus.

[Steve Holmes]

Any ideas on the car in the background here?

21047

[Terry S]

Any ideas on the car in the background here?

21047

The car on the very left of the photo is I think the Barracuda Ford V8 of P Wallace. It was of 4,457cc and green.
It was listed in the programme as a Reserve but most likely got a start

[Steve Holmes]

Thanks Terry, fantastic! Do you know if it still exists? Its a great looking car. The engine size, would that be a 260ci V8?

[Steve Holmes]

Can't actually see the driver in this photo to see if they're wearing a helmet. But I expect they're not. Pretty sure this Ferrari was probably being used for purposes other than racing.

21098

[Steve Holmes]

This is the last photo for this chapter. Terry, you appear to have a programme from this event. Any thoughts on whose Lotus Cortina engine bay this is? At first I thought maybe it was Bob Jane, but the car pictured doesn't have the centre stripes of the Jane car. Was Allan Moffat at this event?

Maybe it was a road car pictured in the pits or parking lot.

21099

21099

Yes Steve I do have programme if its the Feb 66 Warwick Farm meet.
It may be Max Volkers of Qld, who ran in the Series Production Race, and those cars had to be very standard(at least on the surface...) His was only LC in that race, and it looks very standard.
An interesting thing I hadn't noticed before about Jane's car (entered in later Imp Prod race) was that the entrant is listed as Ford Motor Co. So maybe his car was actually owned by Ford. very curious.
Agree not Jane's as I recall Jane's had stripes from the start.

[zombie289]

Thats a Lotus Elan guys...

[Terry S]

Thats a Lotus Elan guys...

Ah, rivet counters. What would we do without them.......:)

[Steve Holmes]

Thats a Lotus Elan guys...

Ha ha ha ha ha. Thanks Pauly, I didn't even bother to take a closer look at the engine bay.

[Rod Grimwood]

Ah, rivet counters. What would we do without them.......:)


Thats it Terry, no rivets is a give away.
Love to have that engine now.

[zombie289]

Ah, rivet counters. What would we do without them.......:)
If you knew me mate you would know I'm FAR from being a f%#king rivet counter... Unfortunately I have looked at so many damn cortina engine bays over the years I could tell them by braille....

[Dale Harvey]

The car on the very left of the photo is I think the Barracuda Ford V8 of P Wallace. It was of 4,457cc and green.
It was listed in the programme as a Reserve but most likely got a start

Yes, I would say it was Peter Wallace in the Barracuda. I would also reckon it is Ray Strong in the Elfin Mallala in front.
Dale.

[Terry S]

Yes, I would say it was Peter Wallace in the Barracuda. I would also reckon it is Ray Strong in the Elfin Mallala in front.
Dale.
Dale, #35 is an Elfin Mallala, but entrant and driver listed in the programme is R Robinson.
I don't recall anything of him.

[Dale Harvey]

That is Rex Robinson. Yes he raced a Mallala way back. He has not long ago returned to the track for some fun. Ray Strong raced a Mallala in the 60's that was silver in colour. That is why I suggested him.
Dale.

Dale.

Re the Elfin Mallala in post # 99

Dale you had me intrigued with the Robinson and Strong cars as there were only 5 Mallala built, so I had to do some detectiving.
They are in fact the SAME car.

It was the second Mallala built and was chassis # S6315. It was delivered in mid 1963 to Adelaide's Brian Morrell. He fitted it with a 1,890cc Consul engine. He raced it for a year then some Victorians had it. Then Rex Robinson bought it in mid 1964.
He fitted a 1,475cc Cortina engine, but not a twin cam, so it suffered against the Lotus 23's which were mostly twin cams.

Ray Strong bought it in early 1966 and raced it for 6 years. He then sold it to Malcolm Weir.
Interestingly Robinson, Strong and Weir were all from the NSW south coast.
It then went to various Victorians where it is still in existence. Importantly all 5 Mallalas are believed to still be in existence, including one in NZ.

The colour was note in programmes as "silver" but it was actually a very shiny "gunmetal grey".

[Terry S]

Think Terry S reply refers to #79

Ellis, I personally think the Lola looked nicer with the original standard bodywork, as below, but that would have been with much narrower rear wheels than the Geoghegans fitted

And regarding O'Sullivan's crashed Cooper, it wasn't rebuilt IIRC, he bought another car for Sandown.

Niel Allen, and it's Pete Geoghegan following.

Whoops... that one was already corrected.

The Lola, by the way, was no longer an 1100, it was 1220cc by this time I'm sure. It held the Warwick Farm record for its class at 1:43.2 for years after Johnny Martin set it in about 1963, I think that was the 1100 class, however. It was only beaten after the class limit was raised to 1300cc and much better tyres came out.
